[edit] Mark I detail in History of computing hardware

It's a lot of interesting detail and I commend you for adding it, but if I might offer, you've put it in the wrong place. That article is a general survey of computing devices and should not include too much detail on any one device. Can you perhaps transplant the Mark I detail to its own article?

You said: "Would you recommend starting a new article with only a couple of sentences and hope others hang more detail on it?" What you describe is a stub, and when marked as such, is a valid and useful contribution to the encyclopedia. As a side-note, blanking a user talk page is bad form on Wikipedia, as difficult as the temptation is to resist, I know. Robert K S 21:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beach Road Bridge

Good afternoon, I have indeed seen the Beach Road bridge. I actually wrote most the Lane Avenue Bridge article as it is today, so I'm fairly well versed with it as well as bridges in general. I would recommend you create an article on it, as you have a fair amount of information regarding its history and construction. I even have some pictures that could be added to an article once created. My thought behind removing it was just that the Lane Avenue Bridge is not close to the Beach Road bridge distance wise, even though the design is similar. If you want to get started, click the following link: Beach Road Bridge and you can make a page. Best of luck to you.--Analogue Kid 19:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
